What is the issues we will commonly see with the lateral and medial coronoid processes?
They like to fragment & result in lameness & are painful
Where is the antebrachiocarpal joint located?
Between the antebrachium & the proximal rox of carpal bones
Where is the middle carpal joint located?
Between the proximal and distal rows of carpal bones
Where is the intercarpal joint located?
among the individual carpal bones, between each carpal bone
Where is the carpometacarpal joint located?
between the distal row of each carpal bone and the metacarpal bone(s)
How accessible is the antebrachiocarpal/radiocarpal joint?
Opens widely
fully accessible
does not communicate with middle carpal & carpometacarpal joints
